Simple microdetermination of uric acid.

In 1947 Kalckar introduced a comprehensive differential spectrophotometric system for the analysis of purines, including uric acid (1). Praetorius and his associate Poulsen employed this procedure and have published detailed directions for a practical uric acid method (2, 3). During the past 4 years, over 2000 routine uric acid determinations on blood and urine have been performed in this labor...

Hepatoprotective pyrrole derivatives of Lycium chinense fruits.

As a part of our search for hepatoprotective compounds from Lycium chinense fruits, three new pyrrole derivatives (1-3) were isolated. These compounds and a related synthetic methylated compound (4) were evaluated for their biological activity and structure-activity relationship, and compounds 1 and 2 showed hepatoprotective effects comparable to silybin at the concentration of 0.1 microM (64.4...

Acetic Acid in Cholera

The treatment of cholera by acetic acid, suggested by Dr. Greene in the September number of the Indian Medical Gazette, deserves, I think, to be put to the test by the profession. When I perused Dr. Greene's article, it struck me that, from its strong antiseptic property, acetic acid may do good by counteracting the morbific influence of the cholera miasm in the blood. Besides, being a stimulan...
